Horace characterises his ordinary verse in the line, In scaenam missos cum magnopondere versus; and this slow and weighty movement seems to have been the general character of his metre in the calmer parts of his dramas.

It is as follows-- "Thrax puer, astricto glacie dum ludit in Hebro, Frigore concretas pondere rupit aquas.
Mens sine pondere ludit=--The mind is playful when unburdened.
Hilarisque tamen cum pondere virtus=--Virtue may be gay, yet with dignity.
